Hi @Silverrobin
Welcome to HP Support Forums. A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions.
I understand that you are unable to login to your Notebook because of the Simple Pass reconfirmation Box.
I'd like to help.
The password required is your Windows Login Password.
If you are unable to log in after a Windows update, I suggest you do a System Restore to an earlier time before this issue started.
- Shut down the computer completely.
- Turn on the computer and repeatedly press the F11 key, about once every second, until you see the Windows loading screen.
- If a language selection screen opens, select the language you want to use to continue.
- On the Choose your keyboard layout screen, select the keyboard layout that matches your keyboard type.
- On the Choose an option screen, click Troubleshoot.
- On the Troubleshoot screen, click Advanced Options.
- On the Advanced options screen, click System Restore.
- Click Windows 10 as the target operating system.
- The System Restore window opens. Click Next.
- Click the restore point that you want to use, and then click Next.
- The Confirm Restore Point window opens.
-Click Finish to restore your computer to a previous point.
- Do not interrupt System Restore when it starts. Doing so can corrupt your hard drive and create more problems. Click Yes in the warning that appears.
- System Restore returns the computer configuration to a previous point in time and restarts.
Try logging in after the System Restore. If you are able to log in, try these steps.
Step 1: Uninstall the Fingerprint reader software.
- Type Device Manager in the Start Menu and open Device Manager from the search results.
- Under the Biometric category, right-click on anything which is listed and select Uninstall.
Step 2: Restart the PC.
Step 3: Please download the latest Fingerprint reader software from this link.
Step 4: Install the software and configure your fingerprint if you plan on using it.
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you. 🙂
